DOJ Defends Decision to Prosecute Trump for Missing Document, While Excusing Biden: It's Hard to Win a Conviction Against an "Elderly Man With a POOR MEMORY"
JOE BIDEN PLEADS SENILITY AS A DEFENSE
For real. I'm not just making it up. Well, I made up that he "pled senility."
But that's exactly what he did!
Special counsel Robert Hur has declined to prosecute President Joe Biden for his handling of classified documents, but said Biden's practices "present serious risks to national security," and added that Biden portrayed himself as an "elderly man with a poor memory" who would be sympathetic to a jury. "Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen," the report said, but the evidence "does not establish Mr. Biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."Right, because Joe Biden interposed his cognitive decline as a defense, hinting -- or outright stating -- that if he's brought up on charges, he'll just say he can't remember things and so he had no "intent" to keep the documents. He merely "forgot" he had them at all. No intent!
I plead senility. Now elect me to be the most powerful man in the world, with a quavering thumb on the nuclear button.
About a month after he left office as vice president, in a recorded conversation with his ghostwriter in February 2017, Biden remarked that he "just found all this classified stuff downstairs," the report said. Biden was believed to have been referencing classified documents about the Afghanistan troop surge in 2009, which Biden opposed. Bidens' memory, Hur's report said, "was significantly limited" during his 2023 interviews with the special counsel.
"We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," it said. "Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him -- by then a former president well into his eighties -- of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness."There you go -- his impaired cognitive state precludes him from having the culpable mental state of willfulness required by the crime. Just a refresher, crimes have both an actus reus -- the culpable act -- and a mens rea -- the culpable mind. If you're out hunting and you accidentally shoot a man wearing a brown coat, mistaking him for a deer, you can't be prosecuted for murder, which requires intent as a mental state (or such extreme recklessness that shows a depraved indifference to human life). This particular crime requires "wilfulness," which is an intermediate mental state, short of "intent," but a couple of steps above mere negligence (aka carelessness, lack of concern over something the law demands you have concern and care about). It's something like, "you may or may not have intended to do this thing, but you acted so unconcerned that your actions would result in this thing that we call you 'willful' with respect to your indifference to the outcome of your actions." Like if you get smashed-out drunk and go for a drive. You may not have intended to kill the person you wind up running over, but you made a series of decisions which were willful in their indifference to the very real possibility you'd kill someone. Note this doesn't mean that Biden didn't have intent -- just that the law doesn't require it. A "higher" mental state, like intent, is always sufficient to satisfy the requirement of a lower one, like willfulness. But the law says that the state doesn't have to prove you intended to retain classified information -- just that your actions were likely to result in this outcome, and you willfully chose to take those actions anyway.
Biden played up -- or, more frighteningly, genuine demonstrated -- that he was a mentally feeble man who could no longer even collect the wits and willpower necessary to form a mental state of willfulness. And willfulness is kind of like extreme carelessness. He's saying that his brain is too deteriorated to even be guilty of being extremely careless -- it's just his normal walking-around state. You can't charge a senile old man for just being a senile old man, can you?
Sure, sure. I guess Trump didn't present himself as a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a "SIGNIFICANTLY LIMITED" memory. Hur goes political and explains that Trump kept his documents, while Biden turned his over, after being ordered to. But then... Trump had a legal argument about why he should be able to retain them (the Presidential Records Act). Biden, who was a senator and vice president when he was stealing such classified documents, has no such statutory defense for his actions.
Hur's report said there were "clear" material distinctions between a potential case against Biden and the pending case against Trump, noting that unlike "the evidence involving Mr. Biden, the allegations set forth in the indictment of Mr. Trump, if proven, would present serious aggravating facts."
Thanks to JackStraw. Almost as if he arranged it just to prove he was not cognitively well enough to prosecute, Biden once again began telling people that he was just speaking with people who died ages ago.
Hur's report does explain at length where the facts of the Biden investigation are similar to the charges brought against Trump. "For all of the classified materials recovered during this investigation, after the vice presidency, Mr. Biden did not receive a written waiver of the need-to-know requirement, and no agency official made the findings required by the executive order," the report states.
On Sunday, Biden had told a campaign-event audience in Las Vegas that he had consulted with French president Francois Mitterand in 2021's G7 summit about America being "back" under his leadership. That may have come as a surprise to Mitterand, who left office in 1995 and died the year after. One might pass that off as a singular gaffe; Mitterand and Macron start with the same letter, for instance. However, in a couple of New York fundraisers last night, Biden claimed twice to have consulted Helmut Kohl about the January 6 riot. That caught the attention of NBC News, which then reported the earlier confusion of the doddering incumbent:Jonathan Turley mentioned the case of Vincent "The Chin" Gigante, a NYC mobster who was able to beat criminal raps by acting insane in his everyday life, walking around in a bathrobe everywhere, etc. He made himself conviction-proof by pretending to be insane 24/7. So is this a case of Joe Biden pretending to forget that Mittarand died in the mid-90s, and that Kohl died in 2017? Is Biden Secret Genius? It's worth considering. I've considered it now, and the answer is No, Biden Not Secret Genius. Biden is in fact Senile Old Man who really cannot remember what year it is, and sometimes calls Jackie to the stage, asking "Where's Jackie?" when she does not come, at a eulogy for Jackie, forgetting that Jackie is dead and therefore cannot take part in the euology for Jackie.
President Joe Biden on Wednesday twice referred to the late German chancellor Helmut Kohl instead of former Chancellor Angela Merkel while detailing a 2021 conversation at campaign events....
Biden's gaffes Wednesday came at a series of fundraisers in New York as he described conversations he said he had with European leaders at a meeting of the Group of Seven industrialized nations in the U.K. in 2021, months after the Jan. 6 riot.
Here's the background, thanks to m.:
'Where's Jackie?' Biden seeks lawmaker Walorski who died in August
September 28, 2022 WASHINGTON, Sept 28 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden publicly sought out Jackie Walorski, an Indiana Congresswoman who died in a car accident in August, during a conference on hunger on Wednesday, seeming to forget that she had passed away. https://archive.is/cTOOe
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley 10m The DOJ is defending the lack of criminal charges against Joe Biden while noting the difficulty of going to trial against a "'well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." ... Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley ...Biden is found to have "willfully retained" documents but he is still viewed as too sympathetic a potential defendant as "a sympathetic" person. Trump is clearly neither sympathetic nor sufficiently old to warrant such consideration.
Question: I know I've cried wolf, but... is this the admission that forces Biden out of the race? How can Democrats continue with Biden having to plead senility to avoid criminal charges? Update: Gentlemen, this is junta manifest, says that Gigante was setting up a dementia defense, not an insanity defense. I defer to his memory; mine's almost as vague as Joey "The Chin" Biden's. Say -- Biden has a weird chin, doesn't he? Update: Democrat Underground understands how damaging this is, even though they're making up conspiracy theories to explain it away.
Oh boy, this Special Counsel report is very political. Apparently, it refers several times to Biden being elderly and having a poor memory. Yep, its the DOJ indicating they're very political and partisan without saying they're very political and partisan. The trumper judge did what he was supposed to do. they are reporting that the DATE of the interviews was OCT 7--the day Hamas attacked Israel???? Unbelievable for that SC to play into the RW memes, knowing full well what was going on concurrently. Unbelievable and as crass as it comes. Honestly, this is a lot worse than Comey's gratuitous comments on the Clinton email investigation. Seems to play right into the conservative talking points. Yet many defend Garland. Tough to win when the enemy can't be identified. How did he willfully retain classified documents when he voluntarily returned them?

And no, it isn't like Trump at all. Trump was President and declassified materials. Biden was a Senator and had no business having those items in his house.
"Waiver!?" Since when do unelected bureaucrats have final say over what materials can be considered declassified?
But, as people have said, this is a 2 tiered justice system. And, there is no attempt to even hide it.

What about this: Trump told Mueller more than 30 times he did not remember key events...or this: Donald Trump Jr tells court ‘I don’t recall’ in response to questions at Trump family fraud trial – as it happened.

If you're the actual prosecutor, you have to think you can win if you're gonna indict. So, it's murky, but you need to be able to represent to yourself that if all the evidence goes your way, you will win. That's less than reasonable doubt, but more than preponderance...

Ah, so not as big a deal as it looked. Probably not really a flaming skull incident.
That's not what I'm gathering from the summary. He wasn't threatening to act demented and forgetful if brought to trial...the investigators thought he was a kindly, elderly, forgetful man, which is why he couldn't answer their questions. They claim they thought he was so pathetic, a jury would be sympathetic to him and not convict.

Of course its purposeful. But I'm not sure it will work to remove him from the ballot. There will be a power play to see who will carry the banner. But those who lose may decide its best to just keep Weekend at Joe's going. Give the Dems credit. Our side could never come close to pulling this off.

One might pass that off as a singular gaffe; Mitterand and Macron start with the same letter, for instance. However, in a couple of New York fundraisers last night, Biden claimed twice to have consulted Helmut Kohl about the January 6 riot. That caught the attention of NBC News, which then reported the earlier confusion of the doddering incumbent:

Biden's in a time warp! How long until he talks about consulting with Jiang Zemin and Tony Blair? He seems to favor the 90s. Maybe he'll talk about Boris Yeltsin and Hashimoto, too.

Eventually Dems will force Biden to resign, Kamala will take over.

Press will create so many stories of how Kamala is leading a troubled country through a crisis.
Dems will cheat their way to a win ... general public will find it believable because of the great job Kamala did.

The background of that one is pretty bleak. The song itself is somewhat ambiguous, but the undercurrent is there.
That whole album was actually pretty solid.
My favorite track off of it is "Which Way to the Top," which has lovely background vocals. I knew the singer, but couldn't place her. I checked the liner notes and it turned out it was Poe.

If they could, they would. They can't, so they don't. With Biden's shambolic residency, you would think that there would be a ready alternative. Their vaunted lockstep loyalty prevents that option from presenting itself. Dean Phillips is a Biden toady, but he has an impressive background as an entrepreneur (he built up and sold Belvedere Vodka to Diageo). The Party is giving him no traction. If Biden were to kick tomorrow, they couldn't build him up in time. You hear nothing about Kamala as an alternative, so you know they're stuck there. Not a peep from Newsom after the DeSantis debate - he's not ready for Prime Time.
They have nobody. They're stuck with Biden.

Special Counsel: Biden Doesn't Know When He Was VP or When His Son Died
Spencer Brown; February 08, 2024 3:55 PM
While there's a lot to unpack in Special Counsel Robert Hur's 388-page report on President Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents, a few passages documenting Biden's mental state as assessed by investigators is a bombshell set to become a significant new pain point for the White House as it struggles to insist Biden is fit to be president and serve another term.

I wouldn't bet on it. I haven't changed my opinion on this yet. If they replace Biden - something I still think is unlikely - my money right now is Gretchen Whitmer. I think she's the strongest "dark horse" because of her fringe benefits.
She's a woman, she's a fully-committed Party creature, she's in with the DoJ and has a history of cooperation with the intelligence state as it entraps citizens, she's from the interior and doesn't have Newsom's west-coast baggage, she's smart enough both to play the role without fucking things up too badly by having delusions of independent power (unlike Harris) *and* be able to keep plates spinning without constant babysitting on all issues at all times (unlike Biden).

They seem to be losing support among blacks, and the female vote has always been critical.
Also, a lot of the foot soldiers of the inner city machine are black females -- the ones who run the scanners....
So it has to be a black female.
And she has to be eye-wateringly corrupt and controllable.

"Haunted" is a weird and interesting album that is definitely the stronger of her two. It has some very good tracks, like "Control:"
https://youtu.be/5pZmT6e7K3g
It's also one of those albums that wouldn't work nearly as well in the digital/streaming age. The album is put together fairly carefully and listening to it through in the proper order is a complete thing in itself. The songs work as component parts, but they're designed to be listened to in the proper order.

But they don't mean any of it. It's all an op. It's the cover story for doing what they want to do, which is let him off the hook.

10-15 minutes of total airtime, followed by an absence of further coverage.
The most powerful form of press bias is the bias of story selection.

Jury would have had to determine that Steyn knew that the hockey stick graph was unassailable Science when he made the comments, therefore lying, and that the one time that Mann got a nasty look from someone in the grocery store was enough to prove Mann suffered $1mm worth of pain.
Or that Steyn is aligned with Trump and Mann is aligned with Obama and Biden

First, the Colorado case takes a couple torpedos below the waterline at the SC. Then the Special Counsel says despite evidence of numerous national security crimes he isn't going to prosecute President Poopy Pants because his brain is gone.

Jury would have had to determine that Mann is good and Steyn is bad. Nothing else.
And it's obvious that Mann is good, so therefore Steyn must be bad.

She's a woman, she's a fully-committed Party creature, she's in with the DoJ and has a history of cooperation with the intelligence state as it entraps citizens, she's from the interior and doesn't have Newsom's west-coast baggage, she's smart enough both to play the role without fucking things up too badly by having delusions of independent power (unlike Harris) *and* be able to keep plates spinning without constant babysitting on all issues at all times (unlike Biden).

I don't think so. Hur still reports to Garland and more importantly Lisa Monaco. They were never going to let him prosecute.
I'm surprised they let him go this far. Maybe he told them either you give me this or I have to prosecute obvious crimes but this is pretty damn bad for Biden no matter how you slice it.
